New York City soft drink size limit

Soft drink size limit protest sign

A limit on soft drink size was to have taken place on March 12, 2013, in New York City. The law, passed by eight members of the city's mayoral-appointed health board with one member abstaining, intended to prohibit the sale of many sweetened drinks more than 16 ounces (0.5 liters) in volume.[1] Under the plan, all restaurants, fast-food joints, delis, movie theaters, sports stadiums and food carts would be barred from selling sugar-sweetened drinks in cups larger than 16 ounces. The regulation would not apply to drinks sold in grocery stores including 7-Eleven.[2] In addition, the regulation excludes drinks that are more than 70 percent fruit juice, are diet sodas, or that contain alcohol.[3] The initiative was notably supported by MayorMichael Bloomberg.

On September 13, 2012, New York City's Board of Health voted unanimously in favor of the proposed regulation.[4] The limit was to be enforced by the city's regular restaurant inspection team, and the law allowed restaurant owners nine months to adapt to the changes before facing fines.[5] Those plans fell through due to the invalidation of the law by New York Supreme Court Judge Milton Tingling on March 11, 2013.[6] The office of Mayor Bloomberg has indicated that the city will appeal.[7] On June 11, 2013, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene went to court to fight the ruling that blocked the ban.[8]
